Have to admit, I got quite a kick realising this is a Chinese and a Slavic dancer dancing together in Britain to an American singing. Here's to the arts bringing people together!👍

[@jk-gx6nc]

Nikita is Ukrainian

[@ciaraglasscott3197]

Just to say that Nikita is Ukrainian rather than Russian but definitely agree with your overall message

[@reddragonready]

@@ciaraglasscott3197 Cheers, it is indeed neither here nor there within the general point. Let's just say "slavic" ;-) I will amend it in my original comment.

[@LH-ie3rg]

Truth! I liked your comment! No borders for art!!!

[@reddragonready]

@@LH-ie3rg Indeed! My comment was also inspired by my very strong objection to cultural and sport boycotts. As these are the ways we learn to see all people are fellow human beings..when we meet to strive to overcome ourselves or create or watch fellow human beings do so from where ever they are.

Adam Lambert HAS to sing to next James Bond theme song. So sensuous, mysterious and exotic a voice.

[@pamelabryant7390]

I totally agree! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@deecee4529]

💯% Absolutely!!!

[@machaenichols3482]

I agree with you! Adam would do amazing singing that song. My opinion there is nothing Adam can't sing! Adam every song he does is so amazing!!! Love me some Adam Lambert. Love Mad About The Boy!

[@Pollyanna012]

… and imagine if the film had the silhouette of these two dancing instead of the hackneyed 1960s ’Miss World’ style … truly a new James Bond for our times

Really great to see Nikita getting some powerful and intense choreo this year that shows off how talented he is! I feel like we've never really seen that from him before so love that for him!

[@ns1367]

What about Nikita's Cha Cha Cha choreography last year with Tilly!? Masterful!

[@johedges5946]

his amazing hair added to the performance, I loved watching it move

[@johnnyohness]

I am so glad to see the world has finally evolved to the point that the amazing and off-the-hook artistry of two guys performing together is finally here. What a beautiful performance. Something for all of time, we only could imagine because it was kept taboo. It couldn't be framed more appropriately than with the golden voice of Adam Lambert. Thank GOD this happened in my lifetime.

[@CarolanIvey]

I think I've watched it about 50 times. :)

[@Lets-Get-Serious]

Does "off the hook" have a new definition now?

[@johnnyohness]

@@Lets-Get-SeriousThe hook is the castigation and these amazing people have been on since Trump, DeSantas, and other "retocrats" in power want to take us American the people back to with their destruction of rights & liberties the country fought so long for. Hopefully, they are like a Jake Brake on a semi that can only slow progress but NOT stop it. These brilliant people have contributed so much to the country with their extraordinary talent and have had to hide behind the seans until now. However, the ruthless right-wing fascist powers are trying to turn the clock back 60-70 years. God willing their reign of terror is coming to a close. 2024 will decide that.

[@chrisstone7997]

[@katnevergonnatellya8750]

Carlos and Nikita off the charts here! ❤ What a mesmerising routine to a gorgeous song!

[@ciaraglasscott3197]

I love this performance so much 😍 have always enjoyed Adam Lambert since American Idol days and he nailed this. Nikita and Carlos were just indescribably mesmerising here 😍 their chemistry was incredible and every move had so much intensity and intention 🔥

[@sylviaprimavera4319]

I totally agree!! Did you see his version of marry the night from glee? Nikita is one of my favourite pros and now I'm wondering if he's as straight as would like us to believe... 😂 Don't quite know what to think of Carlos yet, but he seems nice! Could see him and Mollie in the final!! 😄

[@snook7100]

♥️

[@sylviaprimavera4319]

@Alexander G lol I think he might be bi or something so have hope XD

[@lucypreece7581]

For me this honours this song perfectly. It was written by Noel Coward a gay man about an unrequited crush he had on a straight man he knew in his social circle. Also dances like the Argentine Tango were originally danced by men in Buenos Aires in the 1920s years before those dances hit the mainstream. It was like the past and the present melded together in a perfect moment. An openly gay man singing a song written by a gay man whilst two men dance in a style similar to an Argentine Tango. Perfection.

[@yardengali]

No he wasn't openly gay..he always refused to address it because he didn't think it was classy to share such things in public. It was however known by most. But not is not the same thing. Its more like with many popstars everybody knew they were gay even before they came out. Adam Lambert would be an example of an openly gay artist..Noel Coward not.

[@judithann7193]

Thank you for the history. Noel Coward was magnificent. Adam Lambert is awesome. The story makes this video much more awesome.

[@MrCrowebobby]

@@judithann7193 I think Coward had the most perfect career in show business, with just enough failures to keep his tremendous successes sweet.

[@cinemaparadiso7]

[@AlwaysHaveAplanB]

Nice to see this side of him, beautiful voice! The man never disappoints ❤

[@maximuslondon]

The whole thing was done exquisitely and tastefully, both the singing and the dancing. This has been the first time that two male professionals have danced with each other on Strictly actually showing emotions.

[@goosegirl3424]

Yes! Such a beautiful performance by the dancers! Creates tingles!

[@vieella389]

My world has been too small until now. Watching these 2 beautiful men dance like this with each other is glorious.

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

[@richardroyal9841]

Words incapable of describing a grand event! For real greatness is message shared, song, dance, which elicits inner joy =which only heart can . Comments fall miles short describing, thee undesirable! Equals as it should be…a work art! ELICITS JOY on Heart !

[@TigerPrawn_]

There was Johannes and Kai last year with the Taylor Swift medley, but this is indeed one of the few instances.

[@maianikiforova6638]

Almost forgot to breathe!That was incredible. Hats off to all 3 performers.❤

[@carolinebing9763]

A very steamy dance from two male dancers .

[@aveg7899]

[@LISTENAN]

The same. I was catching myself that I stopped breathing 😃.

[@carolohmartbehan]

Yes.....breath-taking.....tears welled too. Thank you to all THREE artists 💛🍁💛

[@andrewjones-productions]

I watched the recent video of Nikita Kuzmin dancing with Vito Coppola. I was so impressed with Nikita's performance that I watched a series of videos with him dancing with female partners. Then I came across this one. Whilst it seems from the online gossip magazines that Nikita is in a relationship with a woman and presumedly straight, he seems to come alive and have some kind of extra magic when he is dancing with a male partner. Perhaps, being straight, it is because he puts a bit more effort into the act or simply because he enjoys the additional challenge of the acting aspect as well. I don't know what it might be, but whatever it is, this man is exceptionally talented.

[@soysaucegirl2007]

No comment on Nikita with Layton?

[@annemackellar6293]

Nikita is one of the most exciting Strictly dancers. He is intuitive and elegant, and his hands are in a class of their own. Exquisite.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mihaelamcrae8770]

[@valmacclinchy]

Adam's voice is sultry, smooth, divinely perfect! Great dancing by the guys, too.

[@cristinalaird5824]

These two are my favourite dancer in Strictly. They are all very good, but these two!!!!! do it for me. Brilliant!! And Adam ? what can you say? He is magnificent!

[@vanidiaogega94]

He us just so magnificent that voice the control he has and the ability to take a song and make it his .What more can I say he deserves a grammy already 🤧 Idt there's anyone who surpasses him in live performances.

[@the-human-orlando]

Perfection in every way! Gorgeous Adam Lambert and the dancers 👏👏👏. Great choreography! This beautiful torch song was written 1932 by gay artist Noel Coward who haven't been able at his time to sing it by himself as a queer love song. So I even more enjoy all the sultry queerness of this performance!

[@iamaloha2]

When I went to college in San Francisco in the 50s, I was given a record album entitled: Mad about the Boy. It had all gay men songs on it. I wish I had it still today. Are you familiar with the album?

[@Seeker7100]

First heard this as the intro to the Noel Coward documentary 'Mad About The Boy' and loved the song the first time I heard it.
